The SCP SCIENCE Digestion Racks with auto vent and seal Safety Pressure Caps and volume-calibrated Quartz Digestion Vessels provide faster assembly over classical Teflon® Digestion Vessel Systems. In less than 15 minutes, 12 samples can be weighed, acid added, Pressure Cap adjusted and the digestion begun.
Quartz vessels have the following advantages:
• Volume calibrated Quartz Digestion Vessels at 50 ml for normalization • Observe what is being digested in Quartz • Easier to wash than Teflon® vessels • Reduced cross contamination vs Teflon® vessels • Lower replacement cost than Teflon®
Racks have the following advantages:
• Rack and Vessels can be assembled in minutes • Vent and seal technology (34 atm., 500 psi) • Tube extenders to increase heating efficiency • Triple Teflon® coated Rack components for chemical resistance

NovaWAVE SaDigeStion SySteM
NovaWAVE is a fully automated, sample digestion tunnel employing 12 dynamically created microwave minicavities to simultaneously process 12 samples in Quartz or Teflon® vessels.
Features
Digest 12 samples simultaneously Independent sample temperature feedback, in real time, controls the heating process
Twelve individual magnetron power sources and 12 IR temperature sensors allow users to customize a method for each vessel allowing for digestion of up to 12 different sample types simultaneously, eack with their own digestion parameters
Simplified Vessel Assembly with Vent-and-Seal Technology to reduce Rack preparation time
All metal parts are Triple Teflon® coated with PTFE and PFA
Assign Application Methods in 3 ways – by cycle, rack and sample
13 gauge Stainless steel tunnel
Multiple safety features to protect the operator and samples
Quartz or Teflon® vessels for flexibility in reagent use
Monitor individual sample progress in Real Time with the built in Touch Screen interface
NovaWAVE SA is a Stand Alone microwave digestion tunnel system, created in this manner to improve productivity and also for automation. The Touch Screen Controller allows for fast and simple programming to digest a variety of samples. The software was designed to track sample ID, date and time of the digestion, operator ID and the actual temperature profile of each sample digested. NovaWAVE employs real-time temperature monitoring and control of each sample independently in each Rack. The software includes a series of Safety Messages to ensure safe and complete digestions. The racks can handle both volume calibrated Quartz digestion vessels and Teflon® vessels at the same time.
The NovaWAVE family of Microwave Digestion Systems was developed with the following goals:
• Reporting of individual sample temperature profiles vs. target profiles • The ability to mix and match different sample matrices in one digestion run • Automation of the digestion process • The easiest vessel assembly in the market • Multiple, simple Method programing • Position numbered, Balance Transfer Rack to simplify sample movement from weighing station to acid addition to the Digestion Rack

NovaWAVE FaDigeStion SySteM
A Fully Automated NovaWAVE FA Microwave Tunnel Digestion System with all the software and operational parameters employed in the Model NovaWAVE SA; plus the Transporter, Auto-Cooling and Auto-Venting Stations to complete the automation.
Vessels are placed in racks which are moved under software control into the microwave tunnel. Twelve microwave mini cavities are dynamically formed and energy is delivered to each mini microwave cavity according to the digestion method selected. On exiting the tunnel, the rack proceeds to the Cooling Station as the second rack enters the tunnel to begin its digestion sequence. Once the digestion of the second rack is completed, it moves to the Cooling Station with the first rack moving to the Auto-Venting Station. Here, vessels are vented automatically when they reach the pre-set temperature assigned in the method.
NovaWAVE SA can be upgraded to the fully automated NovaWAVE FA mode through the acquisition of the Transporter and additional racks. With the use of volume calibrated Quartz vessels for most applications and/or Teflon® vessels with HF acid, hundreds of samples can be processed easily in a day.
Features
Automate the SA model with the Transporter System allowing automatic processing of up to 14 racks of 12 samples for a total of 168 samples
A mixture of 50 ml or 75 ml racks may be run on the NovaWAVE FA
Auto-Cooling and Auto-Venting Stations complete the automation process. Samples are ready for analysis on an ongoing basis
Teflon® and Quartz vessels may be run in the same rack at the same time

quartz Fiber ashingcrUcibleS
Quartz Fiber Crucibles improve ashing times by dramatically increasing oxidation and reducing cooling times. The low-mass, porous crucibles permit air to circulate through the crucible increasing the rate of oxidation. Ashing disks are placed on top of the sample to reduce loss of sample due to airflow.
Features
Ideal for use in both microwave and conventional muffle furnaces
Cool from 1000 °C to ambient in seconds for easier handling
